He's seen plenty of action and was with his third trainer when bagging Newmarket handicap (6f, good) last Friday; return to this career-high mark demands more.

Two 6f wins on turf and AW for previous trainers and he ran right up to his best when a close fourth on Lingfield AW for this one in April; has had some excuses before and since and, while he's on the exposed side now, a good run can't be ruled out back on turf.

Closely matched with Alasrae on C&D form from Good Friday and his effort there can be marked up given he was poorly drawn; can be given a pass for Bath last time (hampered) and he has yet to run a poor race over C&D; more exposed than some but still commands respect.

Didn't progress in six 2yo runs for Charlie Hills and was only sixth of ten when favourite on recent stable debut at Windsor (5f, good to firm); may have needed that run but he needs to raise his game back up in trip.

0-6 as 2yo for Charlie Hills but he ran some promising races including when fourth in a C&D novice last summer and third in a Kempton nursery (6f, AW) in October; returns for new yard after 166 days off and interesting to see how he figures in the market.

Made a bold bid when a close second in a nursery here (8.6f) last month but he failed to back that up at Lingfield (1m) four days later; that may have come too soon but he's now 0-7 and has a bit to prove again back at this trip.

Out of half-sister to Accidental Agent whose fine career for the yard included a Group 1 at 1m; came nearest to a win when losing out narrowly on Kempton AW (6f) in November but his first 1m run, there in March, promised more as he had anything but a clear run; can do better as 3yo.

Betting Forcast

5/2 Akabusi, 5/1 Too Darn Good, 20/1 Davvy, 7/1 From The Hip, 9/2 Credit Forgedd It, 7/2 Hello Its Me, 13/2 Station Bar

Verdict

None of these are safely ruled out. Akabusi got off to the perfect start for this yard last month and should go well in the repeat bid but STATION BAR hails from a family his trainer knows inside out and he can make a winning handicap debut.[Richard Russell]
